HAPPY BIRTHDAY CHRISTIAN

Christian was born on the 12th August 1969 in an unprepossessing and long closed down zoo in Ilfracombe, Devon, UK. Who could have imagined after five generations of captivity in Europe, he would be returned to Africa, and be successfully rehabilitated by George Adamson of Born Free fame?

I am most often asked what happened to Christian. No-one knows. Christian was last seen by George Adamson in early 1973 when he was nearly four years old and was growing into one of the largest lions George had ever seen. He had survived the most dangerous years, although life as an adult lion would also always be very challenging. George thought he was looking for a territory of his own, away from the aggressive local lions of Kora. We like to…

In June of this year, Musketeer Harry was shot and killed by farmers due to HWC (Human Wildlife Conflict)

Today news is coming in regarding the 4 Musketeers that remain…..

They are NO LONGER and this again is because of HWC.

HWC is a reality and it needs to be controlled and the only way it can be is if people come together for these Lions so that funds are raised for Kaarl/Bomas, collars, solar lights with sirens to keep controlling the HUMAN LION CONFLICT

If it is was not bad enough that these 5 brothers lost the 1st Musketeer (Harry who was shot and killed this past June by farmers) they have to try and survive in one of the most harshest places on Earth ~ The Namib Desert , while dealing with farmers and their cattle which are pretty much taking over any place where there are lions today.
News coming in today that 3 of the remaining 4 musketeers have been poisoned by Farmers and their bodies and their satellite collars have been burnt….
The remaining Musketeer Xpl-93 has now been relocated to a different area, and I cannot imagine how he will grieve for his brothers not to mention adjust and able to survive in unknown territory…..
